As far as proving a God goes all I can say is that you are placing a lot of faith in the idea that a big bang or what ever you believe in created such a complex scientific creation. I believe that universe is far to complex to have just miraculously happened. For us people of faith, whether it be Christians, Jews, or Muslims or whatever else we accept that the only answer for this is a God. By the way my point here is not to try and force my beliefs on anybody here, I'm not about doing anything like that, rather just try to respond to all the atheists on here who bash those of faith and claim we are less intelligent people because of our faith.

I can also say I saw the Johnny Cash interview on TV some years back and listened to him talk about the sadness he felt when being revived moments after he died, because heaven was so much better than earth. You have the right to believe that he was out of his mind after just dying, or just flat out lying if you want, but to those of us of faith it only confirms what we have always known/believed in our hearts and minds as long as we've been believers, that there is in fact a God and an eternal destination which we will end up in. I've also read several reports about people dying and being revived screaming about the hell that they were in. Look it up if you want. I'm too lazy to go searching on Google for it right now. That said, I can see how it would be hard for somebody who has not been a believer all their life or through other situations to reject the idea of a God. I admit,that it confuses me as to how everything else was created, but God was just always here and nothing created him. I want an answer for that too, but can ultimately only accept that God is supreme and all knowing and that he's the creator of everything. Some people come to accept this in life, and others don't. I've been a believer since I was 5 because my Grandfather tought me all about the Bible and where he was ultimately gonna end up one day, and there is nothing an atheist could do to convince me otherwise. I will allow atheists to their opinion, but will not stand for being told I'm less intelligent because I believe in something you can't see. That's half the point of believing and i feel sorry for those who don't, but respect their opinions on life. You don't have to be a believer to live a good life as a good person, just seems ultimately like an empty way to exist to me, knowing if I die that's it, I cease to ever exist again because there is no God and no eternity. If that's what an Atheist wants to believe though, they have the right.

As far as would I rather be reincarnated as opposed to spending eternity in heaven, not a chance I'd choose reincarnation. Don't get me wrong, I love life and want to be here as long as I possibly can, but after listening to Johnny Cash give his description of his brief moments in heaven, and my lifelong beliefs about heaven and the peace that is supposed to exist there, where no pain or sadness is ever felt, no way I'd rather just come back to earth all over again. Ultimately spending eternity in God's presence it what believers are trying to achieve through life here on earth. I'll live the hope of reincarnation to Hindus and Buddhist.
